  Last week Jill Ball did a guest post for the Genealogical Society of Queensland, called An ABC Journey Through Books, you can read it here,  Books   I have read or used some of the books Jill mentioned and recommend them to you.  I liked the idea, so have done my own, with a twist with some of the letters. A to Z Book List, with a Genealogy Theme.                                                     A – Atlases, for the many places we study, i.e. England, Germany, Ireland. B – Born in the English Colony of New South Wales by Dr Craig James Smee. Seven books covering the time period from 1788 to 1830, with births, deaths and marriages. C – City of Light by Ian R Lobsey. About Tamworth in New South Wales. D – Dictionaries. I have many from medical, Latin, Law, Old trades, titles & occupations, Surnames, first names, place names. I find them invaluable. E – Evidenced Explained by Elizabeth Shown Mills. Citing sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace. Now in its 4 th edition.
